Generate Smart Angle and Display Descriptions with Lineos AI

Transform your Angles and Displays into self-documenting insights with Lineos AI-generated descriptions and multi-language translations.

What's New:

Angles for SAP now automatically generates comprehensive descriptions for user-created Angles and Displays using Lineos AI technology.

  • Works seamlessly with both newly created and existing Angles/Displays.

Key Benefits:

Enhanced Content Discovery: Comprehensive AI-generated descriptions make searching for existing Angles and Displays far more effective, solving the common problem of missing or poorly maintained descriptions.

Automated Documentation: Eliminate manual description creation and maintain consistent documentation standards.

Enhanced Collaboration: Provide clear explanations that help teams quickly understand complex data models.

Global Accessibility: Enable international teams to access documentation in their native language.
Save Your Search Criteria as Quick Filters

Transform repetitive searching into one-click convenience by saving your search criteria as reusable Quick Filters.

What's New:

You can now save any combination of standard and advanced search criteria as personalized Quick Filters in the Angles Search Page. Quick Filters can also be added as Quick Links on the personalized homepage for instant access. This eliminates the need to repeatedly enter the same search parameters and creates a personalized content discovery experience tailored to individual workflow needs.

Instant Content Access: Launch frequently used searches with a single click from Search Page or homepage.

Enhanced Productivity: Reduce time spent navigating and searching for angles, displays, dashboards, and templates.
Refresh Performance Improvements

We achieved additional refresh performance improvements by further optimizing our refresh process. Depending on datamodel this will result in a further 10%-30% reduction in refresh leadtime. Key Benefits:

Shorter processing times: Your data is available sooner.

Reduced System Load: Less processing = smoother performance

End User - Fix and Improvements

Feature Description
Dynamic Safety Stock Coverage Profile Integration

What's New

Angles for SAP now intelligently incorporates dynamic safety stock coverage profiles into reschedule advice date calculations. This enhancement ensures that orders planned according to coverage profiles maintain their strategic safety stock replenishment timing while accommodating urgent demand requirements.

Key Capabilities

Enhanced Reschedule Logic for Coverage Profile Orders

  • Reschedule advice dates now consider both existing demand requirements and coverage profile replenishment schedules.

  • Orders planned due to dynamic safety stock coverage profiles can only be rescheduled to earlier dates when driven by existing demand.

  • Prevents inappropriate rescheduling beyond the planned safety stock replenishment date, preserving coverage profile integrity.

Key Benefits

Protected Safety Stock Strategy: Ensures that safety stock replenishment timing established by coverage profiles cannot be compromised by inappropriate reschedule recommendations, maintaining inventory strategy integrity.

Balanced Planning Decisions: Planners receive reschedule advice that optimally balances urgent demand requirements with strategic safety stock replenishment needs, preventing conflicts between operational and strategic objectives.
EA4IT Last Time Used Property for Field Management We have added a new "Last Time Used" property to the EA4IT fields object, displaying the most recent execution date when each field was used in angle displays, filters, pivots, or graphs. This enhancement enables administrators and consultants to identify fields that are defined in angles but not actively used by users, supporting informed cleanup and optimization decisions for better data model management.
[05243807] Fixed discrepancy between SAP Net Value and A4S Sales Value calculations The Sales Value calculation in A4S was incorrectly including cancelled sales order line items, causing a mismatch between SAP's Net Value field and A4S calculated Sales Value. We have updated the calculation logic to properly exclude cancelled line items from the Sales Value computation.
[05328790] Automation Task Action History angle giving angle execution failure message Executing an EA4IT - Automation Task Action History angle could result in the following error: Conflict, ["reason":"_Query execution failed","message":"Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING function_."]. This has now been resolved.
Automated Unused Property Detection and Suppression

Angles for SAP now automatically identifies and excludes unused properties during R1 to R2 migrations, streamlining the upgrade process and eliminating unnecessary configurations that slow down system performance. This intelligent optimization tool analyzes your existing environment to determine which properties are actively used versus those that exist but provide no business value.

Key Capabilities

Smart Property Analysis

  • Automatically scans all Angles, Displays, and Roles to identify which properties are actually referenced and used.

  • Compares active usage against all defined properties in your committed model.

  • Generates comprehensive Excel reports showing exactly which properties are unused in your environment.

Automated Suppression Files

  • Creates ModelAnalyzer-compatible JSON suppression files that prevent unused properties from being exported to the YB database.

  • Provides separate files for unused custom properties and unused standard properties for precise control.

  • Enables manual import and refinement of suppression settings through the Workbench interface.

Migration Optimization

  • Eliminates export of unnecessary property configurations during R1 to R2 migrations.

  • Reduces database export file sizes by excluding properties that provide no operational value.

  • Maintains model integrity while removing configuration bloat.

Key Benefits

Faster Migration Performance

  • Significantly reduces R1 to R2 migration times by eliminating unnecessary data exports.

  • Streamlines upgrade projects with smaller, more focused database transfers.

  • Reduces system resource requirements during migration processes.

Cleaner System Maintenance

  • Removes configuration clutter that accumulates over time in long-running implementations.

  • Improves model maintainability by focusing only on properties that deliver business value.

  • Reduces complexity for administrators managing system configurations.

Cost-Effective Upgrades

  • Minimizes migration project duration and resource consumption.

  • Enables more efficient use of system storage and processing capacity.

  • Supports smoother, more predictable upgrade timelines for business planning.

IT User - Fixes and Improvements

Feature Description
CalculationEngine now supports timing out on individual fields.

CalculationEngine now supports timing out on individual fields. Two settings are added to CalculationEngine.ini:

[EnterpriseConfiguration]
MaxCalculationTimeInMSecs=
SkipColumnExportAfterXTimeouts=

Default for MaxCalculationTimeInMSecs is 600 000 milliseconds (= 10 minutes) timeout, so practically disabled.

To research slow fields in a system, start with a value between 1000-2000 milliseconds, this will only timeout the slowest fields while all the others are still available.

SkipColumnExportAfterXTimeouts is default 10, meaning that after 10 timeouts the calculation of that field will be skipped from then onwards.
